My favorite new online political journal conducts a pretty great interview with Jason Kander on all things related to his Freshman year in the Missouri House. Money quote:
"The most important thing I learned is that it is extremely important to speak up for your district even when you don’t have the votes. Even when we don’t have the votes to win on an issue, it is important that my district—the people who feel the way that I feel--be heard. That may move the debate around next time and it may matter in future years. Though I may not always have the numbers to win on an issue in the House, I do have the ability to change that debate when it goes to the Senate."The rest of the interview is equally captivating although I think Kander overlooks the political reality in the lack of transit funding for KC Proper from the sweet, sweet Obama Cash . . . Still a great interview . . . MO Record says it'll publish the second part on Wednesday.
Anyone who wants to be a politician is immediately suspect in my mind.
ReplyDeletetruer words were never spoken
ReplyDeletethe only problem with politics is that it takes a politician to WIN.
ReplyDeleteugh.
let's do it the ol' jury way - pick names out of the electorate rolls.
In the time honored tradition of Mark Funkhouser and Harris Wilder, Jason Kander receives the Tony Seal of Approval.
ReplyDeleteTony this guy will break your heart.
Aha!
ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting that Tony's advertisers are getting linked to in posts now.
ReplyDeleteJust as slimey as the The Star Tony.
That's not an advertisement dumbass. Just a jpeg link. However, if you'd like to send me money . . . Please feel free.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I need more jpeg links so please send those as well.
And your mother's phone number.
Kander is a royal douche.
ReplyDeleteWas he called back East to answer war crimes charges or to be briefed on how to address those charges?
